Dealing with Lightning Challenges
• Direct Stroke Termination
• Directly to the unshielded line
• To ground or an object near the line
• Grounding of the Stroke Current
• Into Normal Soil
• Across surface of High-Resistivity Soil
• Equalization of Potentials
• Electromagnetic coupling
• Surge arresters

• Grounding of the Stroke Current
• Into Normal Soil of Resistivity (m)
• Split into “Geometric” and “Contact” Resistance
• Solid Disc, Ring have:
– SAME Geometric Resistance
– DIFFERENT Contact Resistance (Disc Rcontact 0)

Footing Resistance Statistics
• TVA carried out 10,600 measurements of
tower footing resistance in early 1990s.
500-kV towers had insulated overhead
groundwires.
For the most part, untreated with expectation
that Rf < 40 .
Analyzed with Pearson Classification.

Recent Comparison Work
• Measurements corrected for overhead
groundwire connection to adjacent structures
• TVA and REN data evaluated in similar ways
IEEE PES Annual Meeting Denver CO Lightning WG Meeting [email protected] © 2015
Recent Comparison Work
• REN reported median 18.2 and ln Rf = 1.05
on a system-wide basis.
• TVA and REN data have similar (log-normal)
distributions of footing resistance with values of
standard deviation of ln(Rf) of 0.92 (TVA)
and 0.73 (REN), compared the same way on a
line-by-line basis.
• 2015 SIPDA XIII Invited Lecture has details
(28 September to 2 October 2015).

Conclusions
• Footing resistance has an important effect on the performance of overhead groundwire protection.
• Simple formulas exist for relating the resistance of structures to the local soil resistivity.
• Several different ways exist to infer the soil resistivity in regions, but not on a tower-by-tower basis.
• Tower-by-tower variation of soil resistivity and footing resistance is very large.
IEEE PES Annual Meeting Denver CO Lightning WG Meeting [email protected] © 2015
Conclusions
• Regions of similar size (TN, USA and Portugal), Similar numbers transmission of towers, Footing resistance data measured with earth resistance tester (TVA) or ABB 26-kHz meter (REN).
• On line-by-line basis, high skew and kurtosis, so data were not normally distributed.
• Transformation ln (Rf ) got rid skew and kurtosis.
• Footing resistance is log-normally distributed with wider value of standard deviation than peak current.
